There's no proof that the claims are true just an opinion. Nothing more.

You seem to be the only one using the term Chiraq since about 2016

You could not be more wrong. Even if that were true which it is not what does that have to do with all the crime?

Grant it. Calling us "Americas Shooting Range" is being used more now. But calling us CHIRAQ is also still being used

Well I live here and haven't heard that term (other than from you) in years.

And never heard America's Shooting Range until now, again, from you.

Maybe haters on certain news outlets.

The bigger crime issue in Chicago right now is all these robbery crews of 16 year old kids working several neighborhoods, holding up people for their phones and getting away with it every night.

As an outsider/frequent visitor, the term "Chiraq" to me is as disturbing and disgusting as the movie director and the movie premise.

Robert9 is a Chicagoland guy, and I think he uses the term to emphasize the issues that continue to plague certain areas of the city.

I could agree that in posts I hear him use the term more than I've read others use it, but to me that point is here nor there....The "America's Shooting Range" IS a new one on me, though!

Disturbing, too, is to the point of Kmans' comment, in that there is a trend of early morning holdups and Catalytic Converter thefts in areas that once had a safe reputation.
